Louisiana vs. Texas State updates: Live NCAA Football game scores, results for Saturday
Live scores, highlights and updates from the Louisiana vs. Texas State football game
Texas State is 0-8 against Louisiana since October of 2015, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Saturday. The Texas State Bobcats will head out on the road to face off against the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns at 3:30 p.m. ET at Cajun Field. Texas State will be looking to extend their current three-game winning streak.
Last Saturday, Texas State didn't have too much trouble with Southern Miss on the road as they won 50-36.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Texas State to victory, but perhaps none more so than Ismail Mahdi, who rushed for 89 yards and three touchdowns. Those three rushing touchdowns set a new season-high mark for Mahdi. Joey Hobert kept the secondary busy, picking up 126 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, Louisiana might have drawn first blood against Minnesota on Saturday, but it was Minnesota who got the last laugh. Louisiana took a 35-24 hit to the loss column at the hands of Minnesota.
Despite the defeat, Louisiana had strong showings from Zeon Chriss, who threw for 172 yards and two touchdowns, and Jacob Kibodi, who rushed for 65 yards on only seven carries.
What a start it's been for Texas State: they've won four of their first five matchups so far this season, giving them a stellar 4-1 record. To be fair, it's not like the team was facing the toughest opposition over that stretch, as it included 0-4 Nevada (Texas State's opponents had an average overall winning percentage of 24% over those games). On the other hand, Louisiana's loss on Saturday dropped their record down to 3-2.
Texas State is hoping to beat the odds on Saturday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. Be careful betting them against the spread as while they're 4-1 ATS overall, they're only 1-4 against Louisiana in their most recent matchups.
Texas State took a serious blow against Louisiana when the teams last played last November, falling 41-13. Can Texas State avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
